  1. Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
    While sloppier than the sloppiest of seconds, is laudable in one important regard: Its obsession with the male body.
  2. Four Brothers
    Because the script, riddled with verbal ugliness by David Elliot and Paul Lovett, sends the movie to a series of arbitrary nowheres, the final showdown for the Mercer boys and their enemies is just as meaningless and sense-deadening.
  3. The Great Raid
    The main problem? Raid lacks a center. It's an exhausted sprawl with multiple story foci, none of them terribly compelling.
  4. Asylum
    Nothing wrecks the mood of a high-toned British period piece about erotic obsession quicker than an unintentional laugh. In which case, prepare for Asylum to be derailed by snorts in all the wrong places.
  5. Grizzly Man
    A mesmerizing work of disturbing power and unease.
  6. Pretty Persuasion
    The movie wants so badly to be mentioned in the same breath as "Heathers" or "Election" that it's not even funny. Really, I mean it, this charred-black comedy is not even funny.
  7. Pulse
    Nothing in the two snail-paced hours of Pulse makes close to a shred of sense?
  8. The Century of the Self
    Rapt, heady, and startling: the most profound documentary I've seen this decade.
  9. Clean
    Not your average divorce gift: Clean's writer-director Olivier Assayas created the role of recovering rock-world druggie Emily Wang for his ex-wife, art-house/action-pic royalty Maggie Cheung (In the Mood for Love).
  10. The Dukes of Hazzard
    It's trash, all right, but perfectly skewed trash -- a comedy that knows just how smart to be about just how dumb it is.
  11. Broken Flowers
    A movie of uncommon sweetness and delight.
  12. 2046
    There are many places a visitor may go astray in 2046 -- places where the filmmaker appears to be a bit at loose ends too. Still, Wong's invitation -- ''Let's get lost'' -- is irresistible.
  13. My Date with Drew
    Stupefyingly tedious and annoying.

    Saint Ralph
    At first, Ralph and the movie have moxie -- the kid even gets busted for pleasuring himself in the public pool. Then Ralph starts asking us to take this cornball mission seriously.
  15. Duma
    Ballard connects you to the beauteous inner calm of the wild, even if audiences today are looking for a lot less calm.
  16. Junebug
    Amy Adams in a performance as deep as it is delightful, is the film's heart and also its flaky, wonderstruck soul.
  17. Darwin's Nightmare
    Darwin's Nightmare points an all-purpose finger at globalization, yet the movie, as raw and vivid as it is, meanders terribly and - bigger problem - never hints at how the disasters it shows us are rooted in Africa's colonial past.
  18. Must Love Dogs
    This is a movie of fake conflict, fake heart, even fake doggy love.
  19. Sky High
    The flick is best in its bittier moments (watch for the stellar cameos), and there's nothing to trouble the tots.
  20. Stealth
    Stealth, a dregs-of-summer knockoff, is too ponderous and inept to serve a comparable function now, yet the film's lack of thrust may be related to an absence of conviction about its own war-is-a-videogame clichés.
  21. The Aristocrats
    The Aristocrats has a lot of laughs, but as it giggles and blasphemes its way into areas not so far removed from the scandalous landscape of the Marquis de Sade, the movie, funny as it is, becomes exhausting and a bit depressing.
  22. Tony Takitani
    It's a quiet dream of a movie, a vision of loneliness giving way to love, then to loneliness again; it's like "Vertigo" remade in a sedately haunted style of Japanese lyricism.
  23. Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress
    Enlightenment is good, Dai acknowledges. But the movie's more provocative assertion is the notion that ignorance was also a kind of bliss.
  24. The Devil's Rejects
    Zombie doesn't pretend to be on the side of the victims. He makes no bones about his identification with the sexy outlaw serial killers.
  25. Hustle & Flow
    The home-studio recording sequences in Hustle & Flow are funky, rowdy, and indelible. Brewer gives us the pleasure of watching characters create music from the ground up.
  26. The Island
    The Island begins with a whimper of interest as a cool-hued, cautionary exploration of the ethics of cloning, and ends, in a hail of product placement, with a dumb bang.
  27. Bad News Bears
    New-era losers (the cast is a cheery scrum of relaxed kids, led by genuine whiz pitcher Sammi Kane Kraft in the role created by Tatum O'Neal) now include a rotten kid in a wheelchair.
  28. 9 Songs
    Nobody will go to see Michael Winterbottom's sexually explicit, novelty-act drama - a naughty peep show for sobersides, disguised as a nature documentary - to hear the songs; everyone will go to see the shagging, which occupies the majority of the screen time.
  29. The Edukators
    A fluid and gripping drama from Germany (it has the design of a thriller and the mood of a spontaneous, whirling-camera character study).
  30. Last Days
    There is a method to its madness, since the madness here is really Cobain's. Last Days mythologizes his suicide as a haunting act of fulfillment: the consummation of a life that had already ceased to be.
